  • Trump claims Tim Cook has committed Apple to massive US investment

    Good on Tim

    he basically funded China. Would be great to see that kind of investment and more back home. 
    We have seen how countries force Apple to invest locally. China, India, Indonesia, Brazil,... and unless those investments keep rolling the Chinese could make a soft ban by making iPhone socially unacceptable like what is happening to Tesla - just faster.

    If it made sense for Apple to invest in USA it would have happened.

  • iPad Air update rumored to get M3 upgrade, not M4

    I thought Apple wasn’t going to use any M3 chips anymore and the M3 wasn’t even going to be made. The M3 was a stopgap that was EOL’d practically after it was released. 
    M3 production is indeed seen as expensive. The only reason for M3 would be to protect iPad Pro. Apple could move Air to A18 instead. This would make Pro the only iPad with an M-series chip, reduce the cost of Air (or the Bill of Materials), and let it use N3E.

    Apple will need to find U.S. companies doing cameras, displays, or batteries to add new U.S. investments. Taking jobs from Broadcom and Qualcomm is a zero-sum game with nothing added to the U.S. Where should Apple invest?

    It should be no business of any government to know or consider what a company’s profit margin is for a specific component of their business.. It’s absurd. Companies already report their fiscal performance in whatever way they see fit
    You want a free market but at the same time you expect for governments to set laws regarding patents and enforce them. You can't have both.

  • 2025 iPad and iPad Air -- what to expect, and when to expect it

    Isn't the iPad 10 this product? For $350, you get a 10.9" display, 2360x1640 264 PPI display, A14, 4 GB RAM. That's a good price for what you get. Then, there is a continuum of paying more to get more from there.
    These artificial tiers are causing iPad Air and "base" to be mediocre and waiting for years to be allowed to improve. Air can't get 90 Hz - unlike even Samsung A-series. The base iPad is stuck with a screen construction launched in 2012 for  iPad 3. No wonder Samsung is able to sell while Apple is mainly fighting Apple. Would be nice to see just Air and Pro like on MacBook.
